I got XWindows all set up, and I was wondering, where do you get =
programs to run under it? Also, everytime I try to start up "twm," it =
says there's another window manager and that it can't find any other =
screens besides "0", which is being used. What's wrong here? Any help =
would be appreciated.

in your home directory, for example: /home/mike
you should have a file (dot) xinitrc which runs a windowmanager:
example from my .xinitrc:
PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11/bin"
exec kde
This gets executed when you type "startx"
The error message indicates that there may be another wm running.
Type ps ax to get a list of running programs and look for things ending in __wm,
to see if there really is another manager running. If there is, try switching to
it by pressing alt F7.
